* Book Review: Dishing up the dirt makes an interesting read Nov 2, 2008
The leading men of The Rogues were David Niven, Gig Young and Charles Boyer, and they kept busy trying to upstage one another. The cocked eyebrow, the attention-getting cough, the scornful sneer: Hamilton learned those debonair tricks from the experts and has spent a lifetime putting them to sneakily good use.

The primal horror of this premisea stranger is suddenly delivered to your home with the bland assurance that he's a member of your familycould have made for a movie as frightening as and as psychologically astute as , the 1944 film in which Charles Boyer slowly convinces a perfectly sane Ingrid Bergman that she's going mad.

Never an ingenue or leading lady, Lansbury typically played take-charge types, whether the ribald flapper of Broadway's eponymous "Mame" or Laurence Harvey's power-mad mom in the 1962 thriller "The Manchurian Candidate," or even kindly Mrs. Potts, the tea pot she voiced in the 1991 cartoon "Beauty and...

Gordon Gekko, the character played by Michael Douglas in Wall Street, does not say Greed is good ; James Cagney never says You dirty rat in any of his films; and no movie actor, including Charles Boyer, ever said Come with me to the Casbah.
